Will Notre Dame be a recipient of a top-4 seed and a bye in the CFP? Andy seems to think so. With CJ Carr beginning the year at QB in Miami Gardens, the Fighting Irish are in a prime position to continue its winning ways.
At Penn State, the expectations are sky high, and Andy boldly predicts that the Nittany Lions and James Franklin will meet those expectations this season. Do you think PSU is poised for a run?
It's never too early to discuss The Game. Watch as Andy explains why the Buckeyes will turn recent history around this season against Michigan.
